Hello! Welcome to the first Finest Flowers Album Club post!
These topics will be like Project of the Week, but will focus on
albums not by The Residents. "Flowers" will run for about 2
weeks each, with one being posted on the first and one being
posted on the fifteenth of each month. Please submit ideas for
future albums to discuss as well, whether it be an album by a
Ralph artist, an artist who's been known to be a big influence
to The Residents, or just a random cool album you think people
should check out!

How could we not start with Snakefinger?! When I think "Ralph
Artists who aren't The Residents", there are quite a few artists
who pop into my head, but there are only a couple who really
stand out to me in particular. One of those artists is
Snakefinger, although honestly it's a bit inaccurate... to some
degree he really was one of The Residents (By the way, we'll be
getting to the duo who also stands out to me in particular
eventually as well!). Songs on this album were written with The
Residents, so really this could almost fit into standard Project
of the Week territory!
Anyway, Chewing Hides the Sound is Snakefinger's debut album. It
contains songs which pretty much any diehard Rz fan should
recognize. What are your thoughts on it?

should discuss? Private message me the album info as well as
your own introduction to the album and maybe it'll be the next
one we talk about?![/center]

ー大先生!!!
I think Manual of Errors may be my favorite Snakefinger album,
but Chewing Hides the Sound has so many great tracks! His cover
of Kraftwerk's The Model is the song that actually made me a
Snakefinger fan, outside of his guitar work on The Residents
albums. I originally heard it in some bonus CD that had a live
radio show recorded on it, and that was one of the songs they
played. At that point I realized I really needed to check out
Snakefinger's work.
I really love Here Comes The Bums. Part of it is just that I
associate the song with The Residents' Shadowland tour, but it
is a really good song. I love the vocal distortion... it is
quite catchy and surreal at the same time. It has that kind of
"Beatnik Party" vibe that Snakefinger seemed to really like.
Also to note, I like reference to Henry Darger's The Story of
the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal,
of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm Caused by the Child Slave
Rebellion in the song The Vivian Girls. Well, I assume that's a
reference anyway.
The only other track I really have anything to say about is
Picnic in the Jungle. It is a really awesome track. It was
probably the first song from a Snakefinger album I'd ever heard,
although the Rz cover from the WoW show was what first helped me
discover the song in the first place. I'd say it's probably my
favorite song from the album, but The Model is pretty great too.
Overall, I love Chewing Hides The Sound! It's such a great
album!
